I was getting bored at school😆 so I just started writing this on a piece of paper and copied it all now, even though I was going to study.......
Lost Love Part 8
Dutta helped Nakku to her feet and hugged her. His hands creeped onto her waist up her back. She intertwined her fingers with his hair as he kissed her passionately.
~~~~~~~~~
Dutta pulled back first, taking a deep breath. He looked confused, like a child caught doing something he wasn't supposed to do.
"Woh..I am sorry," He mumbled
"Err..its okay" Nakku replied, stealing glances at him through her lowered lashes.
They stood like that for a while, until a knock on the door woke them from their trance. Babi came rushing inside with a tray of food in her hands.
"Nakku my child, you woke up!," Babi babbled, not giving Nakku a chance to reply,"Why are you standing? You should rest, lie down, I brought breakfast."
"Maushi (Thats what he calls her right?) its okay, you haven't slept in the whole day either, you go, I will feed Nakusha" Dutta intervened. Babi gave a small, knowing smile and handed the tray to Dutta. She patted Naku's head lovingly and went.
Dutta turned to Naku and picked her up in his arms. She tried to object but he shut her up and tucked her into the bed. He put the tray on Naku's lap but she shook her head.
"I am not hungry saab," Nakku said, as she pushed the tray away.
Dutta didn't care about what Nakku said and started feeding her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dutta went to his bar after Nakku fell asleep. She was feeling so exhausted after everything, and the stress- relieving pills made her drowsy. Her wounds were still fresh, even though Dutta had bandaged the worst ones and put cream on the smaller scratches.. Still, thinking about Naku, Dutta sat on a bar stool and poured himself a drink. "Bhau are you okay?" Baji said, sitting down beside him and grabbed a bottle for himself.
"What's wrong with me? I am perfectly fine" He replied.
"Bahu..Nakku, she"
"Yeah I know that she is beautiful"
"You forgave her?"
"How can I not Baji? She loves me so much, I tortured her even though she wasn't at fault, and she didn't say anything. If I was her then I would've hated myself forever, but she, she loved me and saved me despite the fact that I didn't treat her properly. She cared for me more than she cared for herself, then how..how can I not forgive her? But......."
"But what?"
"I feel as if something has changed, something is different"
"Of course something is different, Nakku abhi Koyal se Dove bangayi," Baji tried to joke.
"Yes, a dove. But I miss the koyal, it seems as if I can't understand this new Naku. I mean, I do love her and I won't be able to live without her, but, Baji, I am just not used to seeing her like this. I can't explain, it's just so frustrating"
"Bhau, give her and yourself some time. nly her face has changed, not the heart. She is still the same Naku, and you will realise that soon enough""
"Hmmm... I will try, I will make her happy"
"But Bhao, before you go, umm I want to tell you something"
"What?"
"Actually, I , um I knew Nakku's truth before.. before you knew"
"Whhat? Why..I mean"
"That day, Kala tayi was leaving the house, I went to get Naku, she didn't want to come. I was angry, it was raining, so she told me her truth"
Dutta gulped the last drop of his alcohol and turned the glass over, realising it was empty. He snatched Baji's bottle, and started drinking.
"Baji, everyone hid something from me..AS, Naku, but you? You were the last person I thought would lie to me"
"Sorry Bhao"
"Bhaiya," Madhu called cheerfully stepping in between Baji and him.
"Go away Madhu, leave me alone pleae"
"Madhu became a little disappointed but brought herself together and replied in a calmer tone "Bhaiya I heard your conversation"
"Go please"
"No bhaiya, I want to say something"
"Yeah, you hid something from me too?"
"NO! Just chill and listen will you?"
"Go ahead...TALK!"
"WHo says we have to tell everything and anything to you?"
"Errmm excuse me?"
"You're excused. Seriously, why would Baji tell you Naku's secret. Is Baji the one with soot on? No, na? SO.. he doesn't have the right to tell you the truth, Its Naku's right. And she did tell you, even thought it was delayed"
"But, Baji told me that he would never lie to me"
"Whatever! So now I can't tell Baji any secret, for fear that he is going to tell you. Baji isn't your servant and don't expect him to do everything you tell him to. He isn't just your friend, you know? (yeah, he's my friend too lol) He can keep as many secrets as he wants to."
"Madhu are you done?"
"Umm...."
"Please go! You won't understand" Bajji yelled. Madhu scowled and said "Hello, dude, ek toh I am taking your side aur upar se your yelling at me?"
"Okay! I am sorry. It's just..gosh I ..just go!"
"Fine!" Madhu gently kicked Bajji's shin and walked off.
"That didn't hurt!" Baji called behind her.
"Wasn't meant to!" She yelled back.
Hope you liked it, I was going to have SR in this update😉 but then that would be too quick and I still had to have the Dutta-Madhu talk and DuJi talk, but don't worry I wont keep you waiting for too long......😳 Please comment and thanks for reading. Oh btw, since I slightly changed th story, the nicknames part will come later....😃
